High-quality,
peer-reviewed, competency-based learning modules for interprofessional health
education now are available through a new innovative online portal launched by the
Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC). Based on Core Competencies for Interprofessional Collaborative Practice, these
materials are designed to provide tools to prepare tomorrow's health
professions work force for interprofessional, team-based, patient-centered, and
community- and population-oriented care.

Funding
support was provided by the Josiah Macy Jr Foundation and IPEC, a national
organization connecting health professions for better care. IPEC's founding
members are the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, the American
Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine, the American Association of
Colleges of Pharmacy, the American Dental Education Association, the
Association of American Medical Colleges, and the Association of Schools of
Public Health.
